The Iraqi people had better put aside their differences and kill off all these miserable bastards soon. They don’t have to join the army or police. Just point out where the goons stay, and let those that can and will kill them do what must be done.

Thanks for the follow-up pacelvi. I hope Yon can somehow get the military to confirm this mass grave (from the article.) It’s a necessary step in the process. Without it, few will believe it, some will remain skeptical, while others won’t believe it at all.

Alqeda did it in Yugoslavia. Milosevic was charged with it.

We know he did it because Clinton convinced us he did. /sarc

B44, thanks for the post. Micheal Yon astounds me with each and every dispatch.

Quadrant, I understood what you said.....and then I read this. Just in case you missed this....enjoy!

Mega ((((PING))))!

This is one of Micheal Yon’s best. I just wish we had the same leadership in the Senate that we find in General Patreus. Hopefully you won’t mind that I pinged you.

Ernie Pile ((((PING))))!

I think Ernie Pile was reincarnated as Micheal Yon. This is a most excellent dispatch!

Amazing, just amazing

RR ((((PING))))!

Micheal Yon is at his very best. Please find some time to read this latest dispatch. I found it interesting and then very moving. Leadership, it seems, we have in spades in the Military and lack so dreadfully in the Senate. MSM is too stupid and traitorous to even mention, yet I just did.

I thank you for the ping. Incredible story, and a great read.

[Chgogal]

All his dispatches touch me, yet for some reason I really like this one. Don’t know why. Prayers for all our Troopers and their leaders.

[NY Attitude]

Thanks for the ping.

“People at home might find it incredible, improbable, even impossible. Yet here in combat with al Qaeda, the idea is no more improbable-sounding than someone saying “The chicken crossed the road.” Maybe the chicken crossed the road. Maybe not. The veterans I’ve been talking with here have no difficulty imagining the chicken crossing the road, or al Qaeda roasting kids. Sickening, yes. Improbable, no.”

And that, my friends, is why we have to prevail.

And this is precisely what the liberal left fails to understand.

[CDHart]

Thank you (I think). What an awful story.

Different cloth. Patreus's has honor written on it.
I leave the others's to one's imaginations.

Thanks for the ping. Micheal Yon is a treasure.

‘Al-Qaida is setting the All Time World Gold Standard for UTTERLY INSANE SAVAGERY. They make clinically insane people look ‘quirky’. They make Nazi’s look like school boys. They are a textbook example of how religious extremeism can lead to the most unholy behavior imaginable.’

And the left-wing press and Democrats love them.

[navyguy]

Sad, isn’t it?

Thanks much for the ping. Michael Yon’s reporting makes the scene - good, bad, or ugly - come alive.
